Kylie Minogue fans are more than acquainted with her sister Dannii, but who is the pop icon’s other sibling?
The celebrated singer, 57, has just opened up about her rise to global stardom in new Netflix documentary show Kylie. Tracking her career from soap star to chart-topper, the series features interviews with those closest to the Australian celebrity.
However, her brother Brendan only makes a brief appearance in the show. In Episode 1, Kylie’s brother is shown during a scene where the Minogues gather around for a barbecue. Fans will also spot her sister Dannii, mum Carol, dad Ronald in the segment.
So who exactly is the mysterious Minogue sibling?
Kylie’s younger brother is 55-year-old camera operator Brendan Minogue.
He prefers to stay out of the spotlight but has been spotted in his sister’s other projects, including the 2001 special An Audience with Kylie Minogue.
While little is known about the Minogue brother, it seems the three siblings shared a positive childhood.

In her Netflix show, Kylie reflects on their upbringing fondly. “I was raised without any putdowns, without ever hearing ‘You can’t do this, you can’t do that,'” she explains. “We were just encouraged to do what we liked.”
The singer has also cited Brendan as part of her solid support system. In an interview with the BBC, she confessed: “When it’s not going well, that’s who I turn to – Mum, Dad, my brother and my sister.”
She revealed in the same interview that Brendan taught her a stress-relief technique that was crucial during the start of her career.
It’s called the foofer valve, she said, adding: “When the emotion has got to come out, or you’ve got to have a big cry or a moan, you let out a noise, tsssssh, like a kettle letting off steam, and you’re like, ‘Oh, I feel so much better’.”
